Ah, sorry, I know Hiro was the favorite to be next, but I have an idea for him I'd like to play out. You'll see what I mean in this chapter. I hope you enjoy Bryan's POV, anyway.
Bryan's POV:
Dear fucking diary,
Tala tells me that I need to get my head sorted out and to do that I need to write down what I'm feeling…
Screw that. I need to fucking break something!
Or, better yet. Someone.
Ok, fine. I'll write down my feelings Dr Phil. And then we can sit down and analyze it, ok?
God dammit, Tala! Stop reading over my shoulder! I'm writing, so piss off already!
Good, he's gone. Now where was I? Oh, yeah. Plotting sweet murderous revenge against a certain, loud-mouth world champion.
If you don't know who -or should I say, what? And that pig thinks I'm human- I'm talking about, let me spell it out.
T-Y-S-O-N
I've never really liked him. Granted I don't like very much, but that's not the point here.
The point is, because of that fore mention egotistical pig, Kai is laying in a coma, in a hospital here in Japan, surrounded by vultures (aka, the media) and well wishes.
Tala tells me that Tyson has been taken into custody. Which is both good and bad. Good because the pig is under constant surveillance and he won't come after Kai again. Bad because I wasn't able to go hunting for him myself. There were a few Beyblade techniques I wanted to try out. Pity.
I bet you're all wondering -I don't know who exactly, but it sounds good- how on earth Kai ended up in a coma and why I want Tyson's head on a pike. Well, I'll start from the beginning.
About four months ago, a few weeks after the collapse of BEGA, the media hounded Kai, Tyson and anyone else who cared to listen about the suppose romantic relationship between Kai and Tyson. Tyson thought it was a good idea for them to get together. It'll give the BBA some positive publicity, which they sorely needed at that time. Because Kai lacks self-esteem, which he makes up for in selflessness, he agrees.
Of course, selfless prick!
However, after a month of dating, the positive glow of a newly formed relationship soon died and the media began painting the relationship in a less than perfect light. Anorexia, depression, abuse. It was all there. I'm told they ran countless articles about the relationship, with many respected and well-know doctors, experts and psychologists adding their input.
To put it in layman's terms; Kai is suffering from anorexia due to his unhealthy and abusive relationship with Tyson.
And what did they do about it? Absolutely nothing. Well, that's not true. They ran even more articles about him. Fat lot of good it did him, though.
Shows how concerned they were for Kai, huh?
Anyway, after two more months of this tripe, Kai had enough and decided to break up with Tyson.
Alone.
That went as well as can be expected. Due to being extremely underweight, damn near fragile, Tyson effortlessly took Kai by the arms and threw him against a wall. A brick wall. There was a sickening crack and Kai fell limp.
He's been that way ever since.
What pisses me off the most is that the whole thing was caught on camera. Couldn't one of the cameramen step in before things turned violent.
Oh, right I forgot. He would be getting in the way of a good story. Silly me.
I'm the man of the world and I have witness some terrible stuff, but not once had I ever seen something that brought such anger from me before. I'm extremely ill-tempered -I have no problem admitting that- and watching that I nearly flew into a murderous rage. Luckily -or maybe not, depends on your point of view- Spencer was there to stop me from going hunting.
I can't really remember how long Kai has been in this coma now. A week? A bit over? Seems like a year, but I know that's not true. The doctors don't know when -or if ever- he'll wake up. He hit his head pretty hard when it collided with the wall. He has a large list on injuries. Some of them weren't due because he was thrown against a wall, neither.
Ok, I suppose I should explain what injuries he has, huh? Well, let's start at the worst and work our way down. There's:
A minor fracture in his skull. They feared that there might be some blood on his brain, but thankfully there was none. Though, they can't rule out the possibility of brain damage should he ever wake up.
Several fractured rips. Mainly near his spine, which, thankfully, was not damaged in the attack.
Fractured collar bone. The doctors think it was due to the violent jerking, but they need to do some more tests to be sure. But, they need to wait until he is stabilized for that to happen. And not before. There will be severe consequences if they cause him even more pain.
Severe bruising on his upper arms. From Tyson's hands. You can clearly see the finger marks. They circle right around his arms.
A twisted ankle. Again, because of the jerking.
And several severe and unknown bruises that mar his body. Some old, some still fresh. Due to his poor health, it's hard to tell how old the bruises are. The worst one has to be the one that mars the left side of his face. It look horrid, I can tell you. It's a mixture of black, purple and dark green. It just looks, urg.
It took some colorful threats of intense pain to get the doctor to tell me what exactly was wrong with Kai. All we knew was that he was attacked and put in a coma. The only people who know the full extent of Kai's injuries are the doctor (duh), Spencer, Tala and I. The others have asked, but we don't want to really tell them. All they know is that Kai's in a coma. As devastating as that is, it's better that they don't know the whole truth just yet.
Ian doesn't know all the details, either. Spencer decided it would be best that way. The little twerp is still a little too young to understand.
Speaking of twerps, the usually loud and annoying monkey-boy of G-rev is disturbingly quiet. I don't think he has uttered a word since we got here. He comes by every day to the hospital, but he just sits in the waiting room, staring off into space.
I'm not even remotely familiar with so-called 'human emotions' but even I can tell they look and feel like shit. The guilt, anger and disbelief is definitely eating them up inside.
It's so fucking frustrating for me, ya know? I don't know what I'm feeling at the moment. Except I know about the rage. The rage to completely maim something.
I've already destroyed numerous things. There was that couch -which I never really like anyway- back home in Russia, that park bench that happened to be in my way when I went for a walk, and that old, run-down shack in the middle of nowhere that I destroyed with my blade. Falborg had fun then.
Oh, I just had a wonderful vision of Falborg pecking away at Tyson's corpse. Ah, yes, the stuff dreams are made of…
Anyway, I'm a little vague as to why Kai decided to break up with Tyson. Knowing Kai, he wouldn't do it unless there was a threat of someone else getting hurt.
But Tala tells me that Miguel was the one who convinced Kai to leave Tyson. He also said that he knew Kai was going to break up with Tyson but didn't go with him because Kai begged him not to in fear that he'll get hurt.
Ok, now that's so fucking typical.
Tala said there was more to this story, but he can't and won't tell me until he's sure they aren't any of those vultures hovering around. I understand his concern, but dammit, it doesn't help my curiosity one bit!
Another thing that's peeking my curiosity is that I was certain I saw that older Granger boy hanging around the hospital. I wonder what he wants. He's probably here to make sure Kai's not faking it.
He disappeared from my line of vision as quickly as he had entered, but some time later I swear to you that he pushed past me, pale and somewhat in a daze. Claude appeared not long after that. He stopped briefly for a moment to tell me that the doctors are watching Kai and left the hospital.
Again, I'm a little vague on the details, but it seems that after Hiro witness first hand what his brother has done put him in a state of shock. I could say that I sympathize with him, but then I would be lying through my teeth.
About a day after that, Spencer informs me that Claude -who of which seems to be more frighten of me than him- told him that Hiro is going to the police station to see if he can actually talk to Tyson face-to-face. It should be interesting to learn what the brat has to say.
Do you think the cops will allow me to have a few minutes with Tyson? Probably not, but what's the harm in trying? I'll get the answers out of him.
And scar him for life, but hopefully that won't he won't have much of a life left.
You know what, this writing down your feelings to help get your head sorted out is a loud of bullshit. What good has all this done for me? I'm not good with words and prefer to vent psychically more than verbally or emotionally.
Anyway, since I'm about done with this I suppose I should finish up with the rundown of my feelings on the matter (You happy now, Tala?). Lets see…
Hatred. Which is understandable.
Anger. I may have proved that point a few times already.
Murderous revenge. I know that this point has came across quite strongly.
The untamable urge to destroy something. Anything will do at this point in time. Anything.
Uselessness at not being able to do anything. That pretty much goes for everyone here, though.
I think that pretty much sums it up, doesn't it? I might wait a couple of days before hunting Hiro down for answers after speaking with the brat. And for his own sake, he better not pin all this on Kai.
Bryan.
Whew, another chapter done. I hope I managed to get Bryan's anger and frustrations across. He seems like the kind of guy to use violence to get his anger across, you know what I mean? Anyway, who would you like to see next. I was thinking Max, but you can choose if you want.
Please review with any comments or suggestions you would like to make.
